„That's Amore“

Inspired by the old familiar song: That's Amore!
................................................Amore (pronounced ah-MOR-eh) means "love" in Italian. The song first appeared in the soundtrack of the Martin and Lewis comedy film The Caddy, released by Paramount Pictures on August 10, 1953. In the film, the song is performed mainly by Dean Martin, with Jerry Lewis joining in and then followed by the other characters in the scene. It received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Original Song of that year.
................................................When the moon hits your eye
Like a big-a pizza pie
That's amore.
When the world seems to shine
Like you've had too much wine
That's amore!

When the stars make you drool
Joost-a like pasta fazool  That's amore  When you dance down the street  With a cloud at your feet, you're in love  When you walk in a dream  But you know you're not dreamin', signore  'Scusami, but you see  Back in old Napoli, that's amore!"  ................................................ A fun and beautiful pairing of song lyrics with the American Sign Language symbol for "love." Dean Martin made the song popular. The hearing impaired - and their families, friends, teachers, and associates - made American Sign Language (ASL) popular - in fact, it is the fourth most used language in the United States! Put the two together and it's bound to be a winner.  ................................................This painting is mixed media, bursting with color that is embodied in a unique pop art design. Just as a signer crosses his or her chest to show the precious entity expressed by the concept love, this painting reminds the viewer of how close the feeling is to our very being. Try it yourself - cross your arms across your chest and slightly squeeze. Imagine that you have brought your baby to your chest, the love of your life, that cute kitty cat you adore, or that photo you have or someone far away. Love transcends time and distance and you can press the object of your affection to your heart. That's Amore!  ................................................    A wonderful work of art to display in your home or place of business. Everybody loves somebody sometime ... oh wait! that's another song!!
